Introduction
Please note that these are NOT Netscout's official recommendations; sizes are based on COMCERT's experience.
COMCERT builds, installs and maintains nGeniusOne Server on any physical server, provided that the following minimum specifications are met.
These physical servers are also available from COMCERT as turnkey solutions, incorporating over 15 years of experience building, installing and operating test and measurement equipment.
Contact your sales representative for more information about our appliances.
nGeniusONE Server can also be installed as a virtual appliance.

Minimum system requirements for nGeniusONE Virtual Appliance
VPMA-45 is COMCERT's foundation for nGeniusONE Server. This virtual machine is build from a OVA file. You do not have to create the virtual machine; just make sure the resources are available in your virtual environment at the time of deployment.
If the system load arears to be limited AFTER installation, the number of CPU and memory size can be reduced but they are required during the first couple of weeks.
The size of the second hard disk is conservative yet sufficient is most circumstances and can be enlarged AFTER installation.
These are the properties of the VM that will be created at import:
- VM version 10
- OS Centos 7 with Open VMware Tools* installed and running
- 8 CPU
- 48GB memory
- 1 NIC (VMXNET3)
- 1 SCSI controller (LSI Logic Parallel)
- First hard disk: 65GB (thick provision, lazy zeroed)
- Second hard disk: 135GB (thick provision, lazy zeroed)
